Lot #236 - Collections of Walking Liberty and Franklin half-dollars in a Dansco 7160 album
Collector Lots-Half-Dollars
Wry Legals Consignment. Crazy Collection! If you have an affinity for Walking Liberty and Franklin half-dollars than this large and repetitive set is meant for you. All of the one- hundred and twenty examples are housed in the same Dansco album and includes a complete collection of each series with an additional “short set” run of Walking Liberty halves. The examples from 1916 through 1940 are largely heavily circulated with obvious signs of cleaning as well. Conversely, both short set runs of the Walking Liberty halves are littered with Almost Uncirculated through Choice Uncirculated examples. A similar grading pattern is noticed with the Franklin halves with a few proof issues sprinkled in for added appeal. This is a truly must see lot for anyone considering bidding on it (ck).

Lot #844 - 1843 Petite Head - Small Letters NGC MS-61 BN
Hammer: $675
Large Cents-Braided Hair
Newcomb-9, a somewhat common die-marriage that can show up in various interesting die-states. The NGC insert covers up a portion of the rim where a small cud eventually develops but it isn't readily apparent in this instance. The glossy ebony-brown surface is actually not as unattractive as is often implied by the MS-61 numeric grade level, and neither side displays much by way of contact.
